I took a taxi from L.A. to Venus in 1985 
I was electromagnetically sucked back into a party going on that night
It was the glory of the 80's
With karma drawn up in lines
And two bugle boys models saying "Baby
It's a freebee you sure look deprived"

I had the 'Story of O' in my bucket seat of my wanna be Mustang
Auditioning for reptiles in their Raquel Welsh campaign
In the glories of the 80's
You said "I'm not afraid to die"
I said "I don't find that remotely funny
Even on this space cake high"

And then when it all seemed clear
Just then you go and disappear

Silicone party barbies to the left and Joan of Arcs to the right
No one feeling insecure, we were all gorge and famous in our last lives
In the glories of the 80's
You said "The end is nothing to fear"
I said "Blow the end now, baby
Who do I gotta shag to get out of here"

And then when it all seemed clear
Just then you go and disappear

Sure you're out there orbiting around
Sure you're out there orbiting around

Sure you're out there orbiting around
Sure you're out there orbiting around
Wish I had you back now

I met a drag king call Venus, she had a velvet hologram
She said "My husband ran off with my shaman but they love me as I am"
In the glories of the 80's
I may not have to die
I'll clone myself like that blonde chick
That sings 'Bette Davis Eyes'

And then when it all seemed clear
Jut then you go and disappear

Sure you're out there orbiting around
Sure you're out there orbiting around
Wish I had you back now

And then when it all seems clear
Just then you go and disappear

I took a taxi from L.A. to Venus in 1985
